Ebay backlinks?

Hey All,

Was just analyzing my main competitors back links with majestic SEO.

Heres is what they are saying. They sell on eBay just like the company I work for, they also DOMINATE almost every product keyword phrase that we both sell for. Obviously the .edu/.gov backlinks are great, but look at the shear quantity of backlinks from eBay. This is just from images/manual links I believe. They use a template (actually though a fairly popular ERP software) to do all their web/eBay stuff.

Do you think they are gaining benefit from the eBay links?

All that I have found have been image links, not sure how this is seen by Google. Obviously they know this is an image.
